What with getting my comics only once a month, I often don't have much to say for weeks at a time. No new comics often = no new discussion. Unless something interesting or amusing is going on online, of course. Specifically...
All the discussion on that JSA cover featuring Citizen Steel and his little friend. I've got to say that I probably wouldn't even have noticed this if attention hadn't been drawn to it all over the comic internets. That said, yeah, it's there, and I don't see what the big deal is. (So to speak.) The image taken as a whole really doesn't point in that direction. (So to speak.) Heck, I'm as fond as the next straight woman of that part of the male anatomy, but this just isn't a picture that would catch my eye. (Apart from the "oooh, shiny!" factor, of course.)
As many have pointed out, the character is not sexualized in the picture. "The Bulge" is just a matter of anatomy. He isn't coming on to the viewer, he hasnt' taken an erotic pose. No come-hither stare, no forward-thrusting hips, no pouting lips or slightly open mouth. He's just standing there, really. I'm not seeing the gratuitous here.
